Swap the Whole Character, Not Just the Face

Change a subject's overall appearance, including face, hair, body silhouette, and outfit, while using the source clip as the motion guide. Compare the original and result to see whether the new character fits the pose and camera angle. For facial identity alone, explore video face swap.

Put an OC or Mascot Into Existing Footage

Give an original character, avatar, or mascot a performance to follow. A clear full-body reference helps the model interpret hair, costume, limbs, and proportions when the source actor turns or gestures. You can also explore AI video person swap for more role-replacement ideas.

Review Difficult Frames Before Export

Check profile turns, hands crossing the body, props, fast movements, and moments when the subject passes behind an object. Look for identity drift, doubled limbs, costume flicker, and edges that separate from the background. Regenerate with a clearer reference or a simpler clip when needed.

How to Swap a Character in Any Video?

01

Upload the Replacement Character

Open Refs to Video and upload a clear image of the person or character you want to put into the video. A reference that shows their face, hairstyle, outfit, and body clearly helps define the new look.

02

Upload the Target Video

Add the video containing the person you want to replace. If several people appear, note which one should change, such as the person on the left or the person wearing a blue jacket.

03

Describe the Swap and Generate

Write a prompt such as: 'Replace the person on the left in the video with the character from the uploaded image. Keep the original movement, camera angle, and background.' Generate the video, then preview it to check the character across the full clip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Character Swap Video FAQ

What is an AI character swap video?

It is a video edit that replaces the on-screen person or character with a new one from a reference image. The source clip guides the action, timing, and setting while the replacement supplies the new character's appearance.

How do I swap characters in a video with GoEnhance AI?

Upload the source video, add a clear image of the new character, generate the result, and preview it. Check character appearance and scene continuity across the whole clip before downloading.

Is character swap different from face swap?

Yes. Face swap focuses on facial identity while typically leaving the original body and wardrobe. Character swap aims to change the broader on-screen subject, including clothing and body appearance.

Can I replace a person with an anime character or mascot?

You can use a clear image of an original anime-style character, mascot, avatar, or OC as the replacement reference. The result can vary with the illustration style, source pose, and visible body proportions.

Can I swap characters in any video?

You can try many types of clips, but footage with a clearly visible subject and moderate movement is easier to process. Heavy occlusion, rapid cuts, tiny subjects, and extreme camera angles may produce inconsistent results.

Can I replace two characters in the same clip?

For a scene with several people, check the current tool controls before generating. Keep each subject distinct and review whether the intended character follows the correct performer; complex overlaps are harder than a single-subject clip.

Why does my replacement character change between frames?

Fast motion, hidden limbs, profile turns, compression, and a weak reference image can cause identity or costume drift. Try a sharper full-body reference and a steadier clip, then inspect the difficult frames again.

Is character swap AI video free to try?

Free access and usage limits may change. Check the current GoEnhance AI creation panel for available credits, processing limits, and export options before starting.
